Welcome

Welcome & Thank You for visiting Bloomin' Babies!

The original Buds were all part of an online TTC community posting board. One day, Worry Bud, an avid blog reader/follower, asked if ladies on the board would be interested in starting a joint blog describing our different journeys in TTC...everyone loved the idea and Bloomin' Babies was born (pun intended)! Today, Bloomin' Babies is made up of some of the original Buds, but also includes ladies from all over the world!

It is our hope that this blog provides a broad view of what women at different phases of the TTC journey go through - the good, the bad, and yes, even the ugly! We hope that you enjoy your time here and visit us often!

I can't believe it... Today marks exactly one year since I got my official BFP (on a CBED), only to miscarry 4 days later, on Valentine's. Since I don't want to commemorate something depressing on a day used to celebrate love, I thought I would stay positive, and remember the "good" which occurred a year ago, today.

Getting my official BFP was such an awesome feeling! I hope that I can relive that feeling again... In the meantime, here is a little something for those Angel Babies we have lost...

"I didn't get to feel you kick, or look into your eyes. I didn't hold you in my arms, or hear your little cry. I didn't get to see your smile, or even know your name. But, you'll always be my baby and I love you just the same."-Summer Herbst

I've been doing well, just keeping busy with the boy. I still read BB regularly, but typing responses is more difficult one handed. I came by to check on you this week. I had my BFP-aversary as well and it made me think of you. I'm amazed to think a year ago D was the size of a poppy seed...he's 13+ pounds now! Shows how much can change in a year. I'm wishing 2012 to be a year of wonderful change for you :-).

D is now about 4.5 months and is learning something new each day. Amazing to see, though so much more work than I ever imagined.

The Beautiful Buds

Bossy Bud

A 29 year old elementary school teacher TTC for 3 years. Struggling after our first IVF resulted in a miscarriage. Working toward becoming healthier (both physically and emotionally) before we try again in Jan/Feb.

After realizing the natural route, coupled with faith was the path they would take to TTC #1, Cupcake Bud is in the process of losing weight & regulating her cycle to prepare to TTC again after a miscarriage.

A late 20's teacher who has faced well over 1 year of TTC with no success with her loving husband. After 3 failed IUIs & 1 failed IVF, currently attempting to plan for the future, but are finding it very trying at the moment.

After 2 medicated cycles, this high school teacher and her PhD candidate husband are expecting their first child in November 2011! Navigating the uncertain waters of a long commute, planning maternity leave and long term subs, as well as the funny reactions of the students!
